[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 375995, member: 2383"] We used to rent a farm that came with a JD 2020, pretty nice tractor but it had been severely neglected. It had the hydraulic high/low shifter like the one you're talking about. This tractor would get water in the hydraulics and when it would get real cold the high/low would quit working. If the dry clutch was slipping on the 3255, you would smell it, or maybe even hear it for that matter. If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is in the hydralic clutch pack that runs your high/low. On Fords it is in front of the tranny, behind the regular clutch, kind of a "buffer" in my opinion. First thing to check is the fluid level and condition, and then your filters. If the clutch pack is starved for oil, it could do this. Then my guess would be the pack itself. Are all the other hydraulic functions on the tractor working properly? If not, the problem may lie in the pump. I'm not a JD mechanic and there may be something simple that goes wrong on these tractors that I don't know about but there's my thoughts for what they're worth. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
